I know it has been a while again since my last post. What can I say, I am busier than you <smile>. Once again, I give you the roadside attractions I have captured while driving around the intertubes in my big truck…
David Seah takes a turn with the Inka Pen, a highly portable pen that can attach to your keychain. He seems to like it a lot, despite the fact it gets him stopped by theTSA because it looks like it could be part of a bomb makers toolkit.
Looking to lead a “paperless” life? Well, that is impossible but you can reduce, digitize and organize it better. This is the best article/whitepaper I have seen thus far on how one person gets their paper on, and off. It’s 43 Folders so you know it’s legit.
Dustin Wax at Lifehack.org has some neat index card hackery. The main thing is how to make the ever-so-hard-to-find vertically oriented ones. Of course, that is another reason I just buy the Levenger brand.
Along the same lines, my friend Ryan is rocking it again. This time, he is mashing up Field Notes Brand notebooks with Levenger Pocket Briefcases. Anyone who has seen my well battered Field Notes cover will understand how much the speaks to me.
Lifehacker has a good rundown of how to use the nifty new To-Do features Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) Mail.

When it comes to rock,paper, scissors, I think this guy has the right rules. Very, very funny.
The RoundCube Webmail Project
Nice looking webmail frontend. Recommended to me by Emory.
Chank Fonts Across America (via chankfonts ) – Our friend Chank is a You Tube star! I was a big fan of his work long before I met Bethany. When I found out he was a long time friend of hers, well, I though she was just about the coolest girl on the planet (and I still do).
Wality 52: My new, cheapo, fountain pen. Fine nib. Good writer for the cost (I paid about 15 bucks). Recommended to me by Ryan from Brassing Adds Character.
Google Flyback for Linux
Wow, this is kinda cool. Someone has hacked together a Time Machine type application for Ubuntu Linux. Since most (all?) of the technology is already there, all it needed was a nice GUI.

Palimpsest: the guide to a (mostly) paperless life | 43 Folders
This is an excellent write up of why geeks both adore and hate paper and how to make a hybrid system that makes a nice balance between the two.
I know nothing for certain, but the stars make me dream.
SEED Conference: Sketchnotes 15-16 (via Mike Rohde) – These notes, taken by Mike Rohde at the recent SEED Conference, are some of the coolest I have ever seen. So beautiful and filled with big ideas, one feels compelled to review them. Click on the picture and take a look at the rest of the set. Truly fantastic. If I had even a quarter of this guy’s talent I would so do this.
Ubuntu Hacks
The full book online. Cool find. I am considering doing another “week with Ubuntu” soon.
